AngloGold Ashanti has reported a third-quarter profit of US$927 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, representing a 13.74% increase compared with the US$815 million recorded during the same period in 2025.
The improved financial performance was largely supported by stronger international gold prices, which helped offset the impact of reduced gold production and rising operational costs.
Alongside its third-quarter earnings, the mining company has announced an interim dividend payment of US$361 million, equivalent to 71 US cents per share.

Shareholders registered on Ghana’s sub-register are expected to receive an estimated dividend of approximately GH¢8.28 per share.
The estimated payment is based on an assumed exchange rate of US$1 to GH¢11.66.
However, the company explained that the final dividend amount in Ghana cedis will depend on the actual exchange rate applied on November 20, 2026, which has been designated as the currency conversion date.
The interim dividend announcement provides an update for investors and shareholders following the company’s strong third-quarter financial performance.
Strong Gold Prices Support AngloGold Ashanti’s Earnings

The announced US$361 million interim dividend also represents a significant distribution to shareholders, including investors on the Ghanaian sub-register.
